Default Leveling a 2wd

Hello, I have a 2002 2500 V8 magnum 2wd i am looking at leveling the front end about 2 inches. I have found a few kits with spacers (the ones you put over the spring), but I would prefer just putting in new springs. Does anyone know where i can get leveling springs and longer shocks?

For 2 inches, likely won't need longer shocks. Check with the various lift companies, someone may still have something for your truck, though, parts of that nature are getting harder to find.

Diesel springs might give you the lift you are looking for, but, they will also ride harsher than what's in there now.

Are diesel springs the same width? I thought they were wider than gas springs. Now that got me thinking, would 4wd springs help level or would those be too wide?

Not sure on the differences between 2 and 4wd springs.... There are likely specs out there somewhere, including spring rates.
